Thai Airways upgrades

[meatball 0]

Any BM's know how many air miles it takes to get an upgrade (one way only) from economy class to business class on Thai airways? And also what are the extra advantages?

I f I remember correctly I think its 40,000 miles. However I think you can only up-grade on "certain class types" of economy ticket.I have twice used the up-grade, but this was before thet re-furbed the cabins. You will get a far bigger seat, better service and food, plus the use of the airport lounge. hth!
